(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 449. 20th March 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

APC IS NIGERIA’S HOUSE-HOLD ENEMY – BUT CAN BUHARI CHANGE THE NARRATIVE?

In a desperate bid to end 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), maladministration in Nigeria three biggest opposition parties merged and founded the ruling party known as All Progressives Congress (APC), in February, 2013. It did not matter then whether they were strange bedfellows, the major concern was to unite and “first chase the Fox out the poultry and later return to brood the Chickens!” (Courtesy of an African Proverb). 

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN),  Congress, for Progressive Change (CPC ), the All Nigeria Peoples Party ( ANPP) faction of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and the new PDP – a faction of the then ruling People’s Democratic Party received approval from the Independent National electoral Commission (INEC), on 6th February 2013 to operate as a Political Party.

Subsequently INEC withdrew the OPERATING LICENCES of the three major opposition parties that merged to form the APC but it is ironic that the three parties are still operating on divergent lines as they could not agree on how to share the SPOILS OF WAR after winning both the 2015 and subsequently the 2019 general elections! 

Things have fallen apart and the centre could no longer hold because right from 2015 they were all operating like opposition parties within the ruling party and have been unable to establish the socialist inclined form of government which Muhammadu Buhari and party's leader Asiwaju   Ahmed Tinubu posited the people. 

In fact, APC joined the Socialist International (SI) which is a worldwide organisation of political parties which seek to establish democratic socialism. SI consists majorly of political parties which seek to advance democratic socialism. It consists of democratic socialist and labour political parties and other organisations which believe in social democratic philosophy.

  APC’S membership was perfected to impress and manipulate Nigerian Electorate of its good intentions for a true and radical CHANGE which was their campaign slogan!

But from all indications the Action Congress of Nigeria and Congress for Progressive Change virtually dominated the others because they had large followership from Southwest Nigeria and the core North West largely dominated and influenced by Fulani/ Hausa interests in the Kano Katsina, Niger, geographic areas and all Socialist articulations frittered into thin air!

Horse trading for political appointments became the major concern of the APC gladiators who totally forgot their allegiance to devote greater energy to completely eradicate corruption, stop the terrorist boko haram restore security and also ensure social justice equity and fair play in every decision to be made by government at all times.

DEMOCRACY AND POLITICS ARE HEAVILY MONETIZED IN NIGERIA!

From the beginning of the new democratic experiment from 1999 money politics had been the order of the day. The highest bidder takes the lion's share and smaller contestants are left in the lurch so how can there be fairness equality fairplay in Nigerian politics .

It was deliberate that Nigerian Presidential system was culturally and corruptly modelled to suit the whims and caprices of the money bags (political jobbers), so that they can permanently keep the poor peasants in poverty which is a social crime completely against international fundamental human rights of every country.

The attraction to politics in Nigeria under BUHARI’S WATCH has not reflected any departure from the PDP's regular awards of phantom contracts/institutional nod for payment of large sums of money to Party’s lackeys! In fact Buhari had made more Portfolio Billionaires than all other administrations put together – a complete departure from socialist ideologies!

BUHARI DELIBERATE ACT OF SABOTAGE ON THE POOR MASSES OF NIGERIA.

As the agitation for Restructuring of Nigeria by the masses gained momentum from 2015 during Buhari's First Term, the Government set up a Committee to make good its campaign promises prior to the 2015 elections that it would promote true federalism in the federal Republic of Nigeria according to Article 7(ii) of the 2014 APC Constitution.

The parties manifesto also promised to adopt HONEST CONTRACT with Nigeria to create a federalism with more equitable distribution of national Revenue to the States and local governments because that was where grassroots democracy and economic development must be established. Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State was chosen to lead a 23-Member Committee to visit all states of the Federation and collect inputs from CITIZENS between 2016 and 2017 and his report had been submitted to President Buhari since 14th January 2018 with very good recommendations which if they were implemented, the kind of bloodshed, destruction of lives and property unleashed all over Nigeria could have been averted but UNFORTUNATELY those documents have been lying on Buhari’s table for over FOUR YEARS without Executive attention!  

Nigeria has lost innocent souls in their thousands because the agitations took new dimensions as the citizens believed that Buhari had a Northern agenda a Fulani agenda to continue to dominate other tribes and would care less if the entire country got engulfed uncontrollable insecurity!

IT IS FOUR YEARS AND OVER TWO MONTHS SINCE EL – RUFAI’S COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATIONS ON TRUE FEDERALISM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO PRESIDENT BUHARI BUT HAVE BEEN GATHERING DUST HIS TABLE!

Instead he supported the legislators to continue to amend the military constitution which is an abomination to democracy because it was deliberately planned to keep the Nigerian over 200 million masses in perpetual and permanent state of poverty for several generations to come! 

No constitutional amendment has been successful since 1999, instead the exercise had been a conduit pipe through which legislators siphon illicit money from the treasury and have been living in opulence to the detriment of the Electorate! 

President Buhari and the legislators know full well that the major solution to Nigeria’s insecurity problems is a UNICAMERAL LEGISLATURE that is cost-effective to block all deliberate INSTITUTIONAL WASTAGES.

A SYSTEM that will produce representatives of the people directly from among the grassroots, in their CONSTITUENTS AND ALSO PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL FROM AMONG PARLIAMENTARIANS IN 2023!

But since that system will not produce billionaires that will be sponsoring all manner of elections that continue to drain the meagre resources of the Nation, President Buhari and his cohorts refuse to adopt a parliamentary system of government 

It is a shame that the APC government is still in power in spite of all the atrocities that they have deliberately committed against the people of Nigeria! Governor El – Rufai in addition to the recommendation for devolution of powers from the federal to the federating States also recommended INDEPENDENT CANDIDATURE IN ORDER TO DEFLATE THE ARBITRARY POWERS OF POLITICAL PARTIES OVER POLITICAL CONTESTANTS! 

Governor El Rufai also recommended that REFERENDUM AND NOT CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS should be engaged to arrive at all contestations for amicable resolutions!

NOW THAT PRESIDENT BUHARI HAS CUT SHORT HIS MEDICAL VACATION IN LONDON, HE SHOULD DO THE NEEDFUL AND SALVAGE THIS NATION FROM FURTHER BLOODSHED!

President Buhari should urgently communicate a BILL FOR THE CONVOCATION OF REFERENDUM TO SORT OUT THE FOLLOWING:

1. Drafting of a brand new unicameral parliamentary constitution that will meet all the needs of the suffering masses once and for all.

2. Total elimination of the Presidential system of government through the shutting down of the SENATE.

3. Establishment of a Constituent Assembly of 74 House of Representatives Members who will take care of the Transition Period that will usher TRUE DEMOCRACY of a Parliamentary system.

The President can still write his name in GOLD if he could muster the political strength to carry out this very simple assignment and return to complete his medication with greater satisfaction that he has accomplished what others failed to do! He should not allow himself to be manipulated any longer by the MIXED MULTITUDE!

PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL CLOCK 80 YEARS OF LIFE ON 17TH DECEMBER 2022! WILL HE CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AND BEQUEATH AN UNBEATABLE, EVERLASTING LEGACY FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY!

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.’' (Prov 29:2)

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]
